ORLANDO EXPANDED
Park the Mouse Ears Overnight in Two New Beyond-the-Park Hotels

The Westin Grand Bohemian doesn’t just leave the themes behind; it quits Florida altogether in favor of early 1900s Vienna. The 250-room downtown hotel touts Old World architecture, a $1 million art collection, and a living room-style lounge with a rare Bösendorfer piano. In-room comforts include super-plush bedding, red or purple velvet furnishings, and rare Asian artworks. What price luxury? From $149 — affordable, especially by park admission standards. (407) 313-9000, www.grandbohemianhotel.com

Disney’s planned community, Celebration, lives an idealized
version of small-town reality. Check in for a night at Celebration Hotel, the three-story inn that quotes vintage Florida in its wood frame, tin roof, and porch-front rocking chairs. From $155. (407) 566-6000, www.celebrationhotel.com
